StatusCake review

StatusCake is a straightforward website monitor that bundles uptime with the checks agencies usually bolt on separately. The free plan includes 10 uptime monitors at 5-minute intervals plus one page speed, domain and SSL monitor. Superior, at $20.41 per month billed annually or $24.49 monthly, raises that to 100 uptime monitors at 1-minute intervals, 15 page speed monitors, 50 domain and 50 SSL monitors, three server monitors, reporting and 75 SMS credits a month. Business at $66.66 per month billed annually adds 30-second tests, 300 monitors, white-label reports, an audit log and up to nine team members. SSL monitoring flags expiring certificates and mixed content, and domain monitoring watches expiry dates and blacklists. It lacks on-call schedules and browser checks, so teams with complex apps will outgrow it, and Superior allows only one team member. For a portfolio of marketing sites it covers a lot for the price.
